Ceramist Sculptrice, she chooses this material because she can imagine forms and volumes .She experiments with coloured enamels, textures, by renewing regularly her themes of inspirations.She draws her inspiration from her childhood, from fashionably, architecture, arts, and nature.She creates her universe, fanciful and in movement, even if it is about the death.

The most profound questions in physics—“What makes up the Universe?”—is answered by exploring the Universe immediately after the Big Bang. Anadi Canepa explains that these conditions are recreated at the high-energy particle colliders where sub-atomic particles travel at the speed of light and collide millions of times per second. Fermilab built the most powerful time-machines in the world and contributed to the historical discovery of the Higgs boson, the sole particle responsible for everyone’s existence. Because of its mission, extending knowledge, and its philosophy, sharing knowledge, Fermilab is a “cognitive bubble that one can’t escape, one doesn’t want to escape,” according to Canepa.
